Facilitation

The right people, the right place, the right purpose.

Organizations benefit from an independent, unbiased individual leading discussions to identify strategies and goals for moving purposefully forward. High energy and participant engagement are what make Mary Ellen a sought-after facilitator.

01

Strategic Planning

It's often more dreaded than speaking in public, yet vital for organizations that want to move purposefully forward. Creative thinking, brain draining, and celebrating successes engage participants and get them on their feet. Each session is custom designed, working with CEOs, board members, and board presidents.

02

Team Building

We often forget the importance of having fun while connecting with others to accomplish a common goal. Through facilitated team building initiatives and guided reflection, we'll explore team roles while appreciating unique individual strengths.

03

Board Development

Board members benefit from an outside observer identifying ways to improve effectiveness at the board table and beyond. Recruitment, selection, and on-boarding — plus operations, structure, and performance — are potential topics.

Story boarding, appreciative inquiry, and other unique modalities make facilitation with One Step Closer Coaching a positive experience. Well-crafted facilitation creates infinite possibilities.

Workshops

Training experiences, custom designed

One Step Closer offers a variety of workshops and training experiences, which can be developed and facilitated to meet your specific needs and desired outcomes.

The Power of Choice

We each start our day differently. You have the power to decide how you'll approach each day and every event in it — to be the "naysayer" of the community or the positive, creative individual that gives everyone a lift.

Time Planning

Are you part of the 80% of people who indicate they are overworked and/or stretched too thin? We'll look at the life wheel, determine where you may want to spend more time based on your values, and explore ways to achieve better balance.

What's Holding You Back?

We experience a natural dance between forward progress, backward steps, side-to-side movement, and standing in place. We'll look at success and learn techniques for removing barriers that get in the way of personal success.

Communication Is More Than Talking

Have you ever wondered why you have two ears and only one mouth? We'll explore the art of communication — active listening and clear verbal communication — and have fun learning methods to enhance this skill.
